The specs above are pretty much the same as their 100GB brethren.  Seagate maintains the warranty trophy for their 5-year coverage.  Both have 8MB buffers, but the Seagate has the edge in spindle speed - 5400RPM. 

UPDATE, Jan 2006:  Fujitsu and Seagate now both offer 5400 RPM, 120GB 2.5" HDDs, however Seagate still has the edge in the warranty department.
